It has been a long path to relevance for Morse. Of more relevance at...

The SMU Mustangs Cheerleaders
I had the pleasure of visiting SMU back in my college days. And might I just say that the females at that school were exemplary. I mean all of them were just so well groomed, highly classy, and you know, in college. It was a grand time.
So I knew that eventually I’d be posting cheerleaders from that school. I just didn’t know it’d be ten years later...

Pitt ends "hig octane" with a whimper
Just jumping right into it....
Tino Sunseri struggled. That's not particularly surprising, but his ineffectiveness against a middle-tier C-CUSA team was surprising. He was 19 of 28 for only 183 yards. As usual, most of his passes were intermediate routes or screen passes that fail to stretch the defense or take much pressure off the run game. He continued to hold the ball too...

Ole Miss Struggles to Win Against SMU
Ole Miss finally met its match in the SMU Mustangs when it comes to woeful shooting, but the Rebels did manage to pull out the 50-48 win, mostly behind a solid performance from the free throw line. Though the Rebels continued to struggle from the field, shooting just 34-percent on the night, they did sink 14-of-17 from the charity stripe. The solid performance from the foul line...

Pittsburgh will play its first game since Todd Graham's abrupt departure and try to deny SMU coach June Jones his 100th collegiate victory Jan. 7 in Birmingham, Ala.
